100000 foes mixing with their dust |!
No man can estimate the loss to
home and family; the degradation
of true nobility the lowering of a
high standard of virtue; the free
reins to wreckless ambitlon,-and
what in return "a little military
glory, shadow, a cloud, and obliv.
ion amid the curses of the living and
the dead.
In this age when peace achieves
permanent victory and lasting glory,
and the greatest deeds Of men are
deeds of goodness,-and especially
in this country of true liberty and
real happiness, where every man is
a sovereign,-there should be no
place for false praise and worship,
but honor and respect for every man
who performs his conscientious duty,
no matter how high or low his sta
tion in life.

NEW-HAVEN ITEMS.

Nathaniel Locke has purchased the
StOtelmyer property situated adjacent
to Stokes school house.
S. Y. Davis, Esq, is farming some
of the Henry Campbell land this year.
VIM. Locke and wife have gone to
Newtown, Va, to see Mrs. Robert
son, who is lying dangerously ill, be-
ing paralyzed we are informed.
DR.. F. M. Burkhart is also very i'll
at this time.
VIM. M. Brown, who has been a
resident Of this vicinity for several
years, has sold his farm to John
Stotelmyer and gone with his family
to the western part of Kansas. So
we are informed.
The school election passed off
quietly. Mr.. r. G. Burkhart was
elected president and r. N. Stewart
commissioner. We firmly believe in
rotation, but we do not approve of
that which rotates one set of men in
all the time. We think that the peo-
pie have manifested the same opinion
judging from the result of the cleo
ton.
The schools have closed and child
rem and teachers have to separate for
time, long or short, and spend their
vacation in various ways. Some of
the urchins have nothing to do but to
exercise their genius in various ways
to shun employment, neglect their
books and spend their time in fishing
or some recreation not beneficial but
detrimental to their welfare and
future usefulness. We hope that
parents may soon realize the great
responsibility they are under and the
necessity of teaching the children in
their youthful days the great impor-
lance of education. The teachers
work is done. He has laid down the
birch and the chalk and now living a
retired life on the interest of his I'M
spent salary which is about S25; and
the average teacher who has family
to support will have to economic ex-
ceedingly to be able to purchase a
paper collar to wear to the next ex-
animation to fit him to teach the next
term.
We extend our congratulations to
friend Bowen who has been elected
Co. Supt. of free schools. Knowing
him to be gentleman of good moral
character as well as faithful teacher,
we venture to say the schools will be
faithfully, theoretically and impair
TALLY attended to and that he will
do all within his ability to advance
the interest of education.
The pale horse whose rider is Death
visited this neighborhood and claimed
for its victim Mrs. Samuel Sencin-
diver. She has passed over the bridge
of life and entered the amaranthine
bowers of eternal bliss. We extend
our sincere sympathy to the bereaved
family in their sore affection, and
hope that they may realize that their
loss is her eternal gain.
There will be preaching at the NJ.
f. Church, situated near Stokes
school house, on Sunday, May 10Th at
10 O'Clock a. M, by Rev. Cowan who
has recently been put on this circuit.
By the recent rain the hopes of the
farmers have been much revived.

A fine shower of rain to-day which
was very much needed and grateful
ly received.
Wheat and clover are coming in
head and the prospect bids fair for a
good crop.
Fruit will not be plentiful owing to
the cold, early rains.
Squirrels are plentiful and the re-
ports of rifle and shotgun are echoing
through the woods.
There is an unusually bountiful To-
Gust bloom, Indicative, say many old
persons, of an abundant corn crop.
We do not know this to be true, nor
do we accept it as fact without see
ing the philosophy, but we do know
that it offers the little honey-bee a fine
opportunity for gathering honey, and
they are wise enough to know it and
making good use of every precious
moment.
There is company working a large
force of masons at the old Honeywood
Mill at Dam No. 5 taking down the
old wall and putting up new founda-
ton for large pulp mill which we
hope to see in operation by next fall.
Miss Adah Dodd is visiting friends
in Washington and Baltimore.
Miss Elite Couchman of your city,
is the guest of her cousins, the Misses
Riners daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. G.

Farmers are done planting corn and
are now cultivating their first plant
ing which is up and looking well.
The schools have all closed and the
children tnrned from the g master's'
sovereign rule for little season. Pa
rents, see that your children read
wholesome books during the vacation.
Place in their hands books that you
have read and know to be instructive
and moral, and then, after they have
read them, ask them to tell you what
they contain.
The annual report of Nipetown
school shows an average daily atten-
dance for the term ending May Is, of
80; per cent. 80; No. present every

Names of those present every day :

The first two were never tardy, and

present prospect Of an abundant har-
vest,
The grove at Bedington is very in

A party of Gypsies are stopping in

I'VE Paid no Attention to Gov. Will
SON."

The insincerity of politics and the
ever-changing currents of party
favor that rise and fall as the tickle
minds of the politicians turn, is i'm
pressingly Illustrated in the case of
Governor Wilson. The very men
who gloried in his election-having
voted and worked for him,--now
cry him down and say he is polit-
ically dead" While it may be true,
it comes with bad grace and worse
inconsistency from men who helped
to build him up not over one year
ago, to 0e the first to tear him down
again. Governor Wilson, however,
is not so easily disposed of. He is a
politician who came to the front
through his own cheek and blow, is
attending to his business satisfac.
torily as far as we know, and is able
to take care of himself. While be
incurred the opposition of the Demo-
cratic Legislature, at best not in
very high favor in this State, he
made friends in nearly every county
and drew to his side many of the
party leaders and rising politicians.
Every politician has his day,--some
short--some long,-the force of
those in the rear pushing hard to
get to the front only hurrying the
close of the longest day.
The world does not look for morals
in politics, and consciences expected
are of the most stretching kind but
where the shining lights of the
church and the pillars of religion
aud society voluntarily enter the
political arena we have at least
right to hope for christian example
and manly consistency. Even in
these high premises the admonition
to expect little and not be disap.
pointed holds only too true. When
man who splits the hairs of cas-.
uistry for his neighbors with a
diamond point, gets up for political
effect and boasts of having deiantly
refused to listen to superior author
ity, our confidence in front-pew piety
is shaken, and we are the more
suspicious of taking as example
everything that is covered with
sleeps clothing.
All authority is from God, and
there is no higher authority than
that conferred by the voice of the
people. Those who for little polit-
ical advantage will despise lawful
authority, are the modern pharisees,
who look down with disdain and
contempt upon less fortunate souls
that fail to walk the social and re-
ligious chalk line, more from
troubles of mind and weakness of
body than from corruption OF heart.
Give some men taste of the social
leavings and bite at the bone of
political contention, and they will
ride to heaven on the back of the
devil himself, though every tramp of
the hoof crush some wretched soul.
Wealth and Success are the high.
roads to Immortality, failure and
poverty the back-alleys to perdition,
-" daily except Sundays"
No matter how Governor Wilson
stands politically, or what he does
in politics, personally he is entitled
to the respect and consideration of
all respectable people, by virtue of
his Office if for nothing else. Disre.
spect and disregard for lawfully con.
stituted authority should come-if
from any source-from political
scalawags, and not from I" little
saints" of a party after a ten-day
ten-dollar personal and political tune.
